Are we ready for this earth-shaking discovery? Researchers have discovered (believe it or not) that there are only 24 hours in each day.
Not only that, but they have discovered that if we spend time doing one activity, it actually subtracts from the time available to do other activities
Say it isn't true. I'm still reeling, and trying to figure out how to take advantage of this incredible discovery, but it appears to be the reason why I always seem to have undone projects left over on my to-do list, virtually every day.
I have no idea how much money they spent gathering data and interpreting all of it to reach this conclusion, but look at what they claim to be true:
Decisions, Decisions: Work Out or Fix a Meal?Preparing meals can mean less time for exercise, according to a new study.
Is that awesome or what? No longer do we have to worry and wonder why we don't seem to get half as much accomplished each day, as we had hoped to do. In fact, with such tight limitations on the time available to us, I'm wondering if there's even any point in getting out of bed tomorrow.
By the time I drag out of bed, fix breakfast and eat it, boot a computer and take my pills, it'll almost be time for a coffee break. Heck, unless I gulp it down, it will almost be time to start thinking about fixing (as we say here in Texas) lunch, and looking ahead, it won't be long 'til suppertime. So how in the world can I possibly find enough time to even justify starting to work on any projects, let alone actually accomplish anything worthwhile?
They're right — it's a lost cause — I'm throwing up my hands. Exercise will surely have to go, along with a lot of other projects that I used to do (such as work) every day. I just hope that I can find the time to run to the mailbox before the day is over, but if there are any bills there, how in the world will I ever find the time to write out a check to pay them? And without having any time for work, it won't take long for the bank account to run dry anyway.
Of course, if there are any ads in the mail for exercise equipment, I can safely throw those in the trash, because clearly, according to the astounding research discovery cited above, there is no way that any of us are likely to ever find enough time to devote to exercise. Life will never be the same.
Just imagine how proud the parents of those researchers will be when they attend the award ceremony and see their own flesh and blood receiving the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. And to think that this is the fruit of the best of the best researchers, with the support of the scientific community right here in America, is truly inspiring. It makes me proud to be an American. Or not.
